jason Quigley will fight for a gold medal tomorrow at the AIBA World Boxing Championships after a superb victory in his semi-final bout in Kazakhstan.
The Donegal man's win means he will become the first Irish male fighter ever to win either gold or silver at World Championship level.
The Finn Valley Boxing Club orthodox fighter claimed victory in impressive style, despite taking a standing count in the second round against Artem Chebotarev of Russia.
Neither fighter over-commited in the first round, but Quigley edged ahead on the scorecards to lead 29-28.
But Quigley began to take control in the second, winning it on all the judges' scorecards. And while he took a standing count towards the end of the round, many felt the incident that prompted it was a slip.
Quigley remained in control in the final round, which saw the doctor check Chebotarev three times after he had his nose bloodied. In the end, Quigley claimed a 29-28, 30-27, 30-27 win to book his spot in the final against Kazakhstan fighter Zhanibek Alimkhanuly.
Alimkhanuly did not fight today, progressing to the final after Liverpool middleweight Anthony Fowler was forced to withdraw due to a hand injury.
"In the last round they told me to go after him and I got him with some lovely, heavy shots" - Jason Quigley
Afterwards, Quigley felt the fight went to plan and revealed he went after the Russian in the third on the instruction of his corner.
He said: "We went through the tactics last night. We knew he was going to come at me so the aim was to pick him off as he comes. I knew I had the skill and speed to beat him. In the last round they told me to go after him and I got him with some lovely, heavy shots.
"There was definitely a few times I hurt him in that fight. I didn’t panic and I think that’s experience and learning through the years that when you hurt a man that’s when he is at his most dangerous.
"I kept my composure and kept on him and picked him off with better shots."

Saw the Ward semi.The Cuban opponent was far quicker both with his movement around the ring and his speed of punch.He landed enough punches to win each round whereas Ward barely laid a glove on him.
SRY workrider out for most of the afternoon, but there no dought that Irelands best sport is Boxing , 5 of our boxers made it to the q/finals ..a great achievement, not forgetting a brooze and hopefully a gold for JASON Quigley tomorrow morning,...p.s just hope it not a home verdict for his Opposition...well done to all our boxers.
No problem Frank , as you rightly say , one of our best sports , for such a small country we fight above our weight....
didne't see it Frank, but from what I have seen of Joe Ward , he has the makings of a beast of a pro. Just guessing, but I imagine the Cubanwas very slick and Joe started to load up and miss.
Joe is techichally correct enough and has huge physical advantages. he should turn pro now and make a mint..... Very correct in the context of the pro-game......I don't think he can miss(he'd walk out with at least a mill if he achieves 1/3 of his potential.......

Smashing effort from Quigley , gave his all , he should be proud of himself ....
AGREE workrider i thought he won the 2nd round which would have made a big difference going in to the last round, ..agree with you neill on your Ward verdict, I would like him to turn pro and join Brenden Ingles Gym in sheffield. both have good futures ahead in the pro ranks.
Ingle would cuten him up as well to go with his am skills
Brenden 40YEARS at the game Neill one of the best, Prince nassem left him to go elseware and he got to big for his boots,[a big mistake]
While living in Wincobank, Brendan was asked by a local vicar to carry out some community work because youth in the area were "running wild." He knew nothing but boxing, but he organised a weekly dance at St Thomas' church hall and the boxing gym St Thomas' Boys & Girls Club was opened.
"All the nutcases around Wincobank were coming in. After the Sunday dance people would turn out on to the street and start fighting down Newman Road. So after 11pm we'd lock the doors, I'd fetch the gloves out, which thinking about it now was crazy. I would referee. The girls could fight better than the lads! But nobody ever got hurt."
He is currently a boxing manager and trainer to great success stories. Herol 'Bomber' Graham, undefeated in ten years is what Ingle would call "the best person to come out of our gym," although perhaps Ingle is best known for being Prince Naseem Hamed's mentor from the age of 7 to 25. He has also trained former IBF Light Heavyweight titlist Clinton Woods and is the current trainer of former WBC Light Welterweight titlist Junior Witter. He also was trainer to former WBO cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson. He lives in Wincobank, Sheffield, just across the road from his gym, St Thomas' Boys and Girls Club.
In total he has trained four world champions, six European, 15 British and six Commonwealth champions. This makes him one of most successful trainers to ever grace the sport.
Ingle's fighters relied on footwork and reflexes for defence, leaving the hands free for offensive activity. In accordance with Ingle's doctrine, stance was optimised to provide leverage for punches and the unorthodox defence posture left the hands free for powerful punching from a wide variety of often unusual angles. This significantly increased tactical options for Ingle-trained boxers while reducing the scope for the opposing fighters to anticipate attacks.
Have a look at Kell brook one of Brendens top fighters tonight on sky sports he looks a bit special Neill.
